Three men arrested over an ISIS-inspired Melbourne terror plot that aimed to kill as many people as possible had tried to source a semi-automatic rifle, police allege.

A 30-year-old man from Dallas, a 26-year-old man from Campbellfield and a 21-year-old man from Greenvale were arrested during early morning raids at their homes in the city's northwest on Tuesday.

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the trio had been under investigation since March and become "energised" in the past week about activating the plot.
